Hey everyone!
Just a question I was wondering. All KH games have secret endings, some even have two! There's also the final episode in BBS! Which leads to my question:
Do you think Kingdom Hearts III will have a secret ending or a secret episode?
I only ask because the other games do, but i also heard it's the last in the Seeker of Darkness saga so we should be saying goodbye to our usual KH crew. Will the secret stuff show the new characters? Or will it be secrets involving the characters we already know? Is this actually the end of Sora and the gangs appearance in the games?
Just a question on my mind, what do you all think?

So we've known for a while that there's gonna be a new theme song for KHIII. Do you think we'll see it in a trailer (whenever that is, if not at E3) at some point? We heard the Ray of Hope remix in a trailer for 2.8 so tbh, I'm really excited if we get to hear part of the new song in a trailer at some point.
It'll be a breath of fresh air from Simple and Clean and also Sanctuary (as amazing as both of those are). Let's hope it's just as great

Hello everyone! This is my first post, I got tired of lurking about these forums and not being able to say anything so I decided to get an account! Finally people I can speak to about this game!!!
Anyways, to the question. Spoilers below! Please bare with the essay, as I was typing new questions were popping into my head and I got a bit carried away!
IM SO CONFUSED! I don't even think I'm making any sense. Did any of they make sense? I'm not sure it did but I know where I'm trying to go with this. I'm just hoping that in Kingdom Hearts III they explain everything as I heard it's the last game involving the Xehanort story so they need to wrap things up and explain things (probably why it's taking so long for them to release the game....)
But seriously if anyone had any light they can shed on my question it would be muchly appreciated!

This comes as no surprise tbh, but Square released something to do with finances i think which showed KHIII under '2018 and beyond'

Heya everyone, hope you're having a fantastic day. Anyway, a thought just crossed my mind, and it could be a possible connection between X and the current timeline. I'm on the go right now so I can't really look up if there's already a similar thread, so if there is please point it out to me and I'll go post this there. Same for things I missed, I'll happily admit if I mess this theory up, I just wanna try and make some sense of all of this.
So I was re-watching Back Cover and in the scene where Gula reveals his role to Ava, he talks about the traitor, "the one who bears the sigil" and about the "inevitable betrayal".
Obviously, not far fetched, that sigil probably equals the "X", we get to know that much in DDD.
Here comes my thought; Luxu (mind the X) is the traitor, but indirectly. To pass as a traitor he would have to disobey the Master, I know, and I also know that he succeeds with his role because 1. the Master points it out and 2. No Name is passed down until it finds its way to Xehanort. So it has to be something else, and I believe, that it's something Luxu - or any of the other foretellers for that matter - had no control over, which would make it "inevitable". I think that one of Luxu and his "worthy apprentice's" successors was the Master of Eraqus and Xehanort. And since Eraqus rules the Land of Departure, I believe that he was meant to be the next to wield No Name. That's speculation, but having it up there on the wall made it seem so important (referring to the KHIII trailer) I can't bring myself to believe the Master would give it to Xehanort, the "worse" student (well, not if it became a custom to just give one pupil the task to protect and the other to travel the world with No Name and the box).
Anyway, assuming No Name was meant for Eraqus, it'd be wrong for Xehanort to have it. Maybe something happened between them, we've seen them fight, Xehanorr killed Eraqus even. And that's my point, I believe that Xehanort betrayed his Master by taking the blade that wasn't meant for him; so his Master didn't fulfill his role properly, which in turn also betrayed the order given down by Luxu.
That'd also explain why the traitor isn't revealed in X. It just doesn't happen in this era.
I see some sort of 'reasoning' for the Dandelions to exist in this as well. The Master says that they have to focus on what comes after the war, because they can't change that it'll happen. That's why he tasks Ava with gathering strong wielders;he knows that down the line Xehanort will come and try to start a new war, so maybe he sees the Dandelions as a force that'll rival Xehanort and keep another war at bay? I believe I read somewhere that Yen Sid had a different Master than Eraqus and Xehanort, which means there had to be other wielders around. Maybe just a former fellow student of the other Master, but maybe someone who got their Keyblade passed down by the Dandelions. The Kingdom Key also shares a strong resemblance to Starlight, which Ephemer and Skuld use, and they are Dandelions...
I really hope this makes some sense, I tend to overlook the most major things sometimes. This would actually give a tad bit more relevance to X than it has now,in my opinion. But what do you think? Is it reasonable or just wishful thinking on my end?

I really want Sora, Donald, Goof, and any other party member we have in KH3 to talk to each other during gameplay like the characters do in Final Fantasy XV.
It would be hilarious to hear Sora and Donald constantly bickering with each other. Imagine if Sora even got upset with Donald if he doesn't heal him or something like that.
It would flesh out the characters a whole lot more and make them feel like actual people who you can get to know and relate to along your massive journey.

Do you think the Princesses of Heart could be the Key to Return Hearts? We don't know exactly what it is, but judging by it's name, it has the ability to return someone's heart, whatever that means. This reminds me of the time in KH1 when Kairi hugged Sora's Heartless and was able to bring him back to his regular self. One could say she "returned his heart" back to normal. Nomura said she was able to do this because she has special Princess of Heart light powers.
So, maybe the Princesses of Heart can be used to create some kind of Keyblade, like how their hearts were used to create the Keyblade of heart? Maybe the Keyblade of heart is the Key to Return Hearts? It never got an official name, so maybe that's it's official name? The whole thing that made the Keyblade of heart special was that it had the ability to unlock people's hearts, but later in the series, we discover that Keyblade Masters have the ability to unlock hearts, so that makes the Keyblade of heart not seem special anymore. It's sort of special because it allows people who aren't Keyblade Masters to unlock people's hearts, but that isn't really that special or impressive. So maybe the true purpose of the Keyblade of heart is that it can also return people who have succumbed to the darkness back to their original selves? Or maybe it can just "return hearts" in general, which means it can do loads of things? Like being able to make Ven's heart return to his body for example.
EDIT: The Keyblade of heart is also special because it also acted as the χ-blade to Ansem, Seeker of Darkness' artificial Kingdom Hearts.

I was just thinking of an idea for a possible KH3 trailer. I watched again the FFXV Omen trailer and it hit me there. What if they did a KH3 E3 2017 trailer based off the concept used for Omen with the same dark feeling. They could use the Keyblade War and Keyblade Graveyard along with Master Xehanort and the thirteen to help with the dark feeling. What do you think of this? I think it would be a great gesture.

So obviously, we haven't met the original personas of the non-RG Org13 members. Do you think we'll meet them again in KHIII? Will they be in separate worlds, or the same one? Are they from a world we've been to before? Will they be antagonists or allies? What would their aims be? How would they react to seeing Sora again? Would they still be able to use their powers? And obviously, what could their names be?
I have so many questions about this group, and I really hope we get answers to these during KHIII. I'd personally love to see them in their normal outfits, out of their cloaks. What about you guys?

I have created a poll for "What Disney Movie Would You Like To Be A World In Kingdom Hearts III The Most?" and have been sharing it around the internet. There are many polls about this, but most of them are generally small polls that don't quite accurately show what most people would like as worlds. Since this is the case, I have created this poll in hopes of it becoming the definitive and most universal and accurate poll for this question. So, please participate in this poll and share it around to as many people as you can. Thank you!

So, this is a very quich theory, probably incorrect, but we've so far fought the ice titan and the rock titan, right? Well Hades still has 3 other titans up his sleeve. According to the movie, there were five titans, and we've only fought 2. So what if we fight the remainding ones in Olympus Coliseum? I don't know, I threw this together last second. Tell me what you think.

Hey. So- cool ability that a certain ffXV character could teach Sora or "give" like Cloud did in Kh1- "warp blade." Sora throws his keyblade at whoever he's targeted at- warps toward- and can continue the combo either close range or use a finisher depending on how the combo system has been tweaked. What do you think?
While we are on this topic- what other sort of active or passive abilities do you want to see?
It'd be cool to have flow motion abilities you can attach on a seperate chart. Like "flow charge." It's a pretty lame name but it can launch Sora forwards into a spiralling attack.
Really want to see not just a magic shortcut menu but physical attacks as well-either on a seperate shortcut or the same one so we can have attacks like Strike raid and such which we can then combine with others. Really we have enough variety what with attraction flow and keyblade transformations but I don't knooooowwwww.

In a few days, I have seen a countless number of times people are either talking about how they are worried about KH3, worried about the Osaka team and the job they will do, and even to the point where someone (I won't say who out of respect) thought they needed to start a support ring for the Osaka because the team seems to be in need of emotional support and is struggling and can't do it unless we support them. Really? Are you kidding me? People, STOP WORRYING ABOUT KINGDOM HEARTS 3!!! Why are people getting all antsy and nervous and uncomfortable about it? The E3 and Jump Festa trailers weren't enough for you? What else could they possibly do to make you satisfied and stop worrying? It isn't so much as why people are worrying, but don't you see how stupid it is to worry? Tell me something, can you control how they work on KH3 and what they do with it? If you can't, then you have no right to worry whatsoever. Besides, there are better and more important things to worry about then how a game is being developed and what's being put in it especially since you have no control over the process at all. Yes, Kingdom Hearts 3 will be an amazing title and Nomura has said there are high standards out there, but these high standards are by OUR making, not his nor SQEX's. If KH3 does not meet all standards, it will be our fault, not theirs. We made the over the top standards and it will be our fault if we are disappointed. Nomura and company give their all like they always have, but because of unrealistic and unreasonable standards, we will be at fault for any disappointment we may have. So with all of this said, stop worrying about what we can't control, have faith they won't disappoint, not create imaginary impossible standards, and move on with our lives.

I just realized how strange, but amazing it's going to be to see all the Disney characters from the various worlds in the beautiful new CGI style they're doing for all the cutscenes in KH3. It's going to be especially interesting to see the 2D animated characters in this great CGI style.
Do you think the 3D animated characters are going to look better or worse then they do in their corresponding movies? For example, will Rapunzel looker better or worse? Do you think they're going to make them look exactly the same as they do in their corresponding movies? Do you think they might look slightly more "anime"? I'm talking about the more human characters obviously since we already know that animal type characters like Donald and Goofy look just fine in Kingdom Hearts CGI.
Judging by the Young Xehanort/Young Eraqus cutscene, the KH3 cutscenes look absolutely fantastic, but not quite as fantastic as Disney 3D animated movies. That's completely understandable though since cutscenes for a game end up being triple, if not quadruple, the length of a movie.
So yeah, what are your thoughts and opinions on this?

What do you think of this idea? I think it would definitely be very interesting and would be a major plot twist.
From what we've seen and heard about Xehanort when he was younger with Eraqus, he wasn't exactly an evil person or a villain, he was just simply very interested in the darkness and having perfect balance between light and darkness. This seems to have spiraled over the years into complete obsession with that idea, so maybe it's possible that Young Xehanort realizes how insane he becomes in the future and decides to turn on his future self? If this *does* happen, do you think he would join the same team as the Guardians of Light, or would be on sort of his own separate side?
I saw someone mention this whole concept on the KH13 forums and it immediately intrigued me. Ever since we first ran into Young Xehanort in Dream Drop Distance and eventually learned who he was, I instantly thought he was an interesting character. Having something like this happen would make him be an even more interesting character.
Another thing that's worth noting is that Young Xehanort used to have friends, such as Eraqus. We don't quite know all the details and facts yet, but from what the little we've seen and heard, it sort of appears as if Young Xehanort used to care for Eraqus and have compassion for him, like any friend would. Maybe this care and compassion slowly left him over the years as he spiraled into complete insanity, which of course ended up with him killing Eraqus. It very much reminds me of Riku and Sora's relationship and how Riku turned on Sora. Except with Xehanort, he never turns good again, but maybe just maybe, Young Xehanort seeing his future self go insane and maybe he realizes how much destruction his future self could really cause if he got his hands on Kingdom Hearts, he changes his mind and turns against him.
This is a far fetched idea and most likely won't happen, but I definitely think it's an interesting idea that I think would work very well if it was done right.
What are your thoughts on this?

This is a very minor worry, but at the same time, it still worries me.
From what we've seen so far in the Kingdom Hearts III trailers, the Attraction Flow rides' names don't seem to be set in stone yet. For example, the Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters are called "Shooting Ride" and the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is called "Big Magic Mountain." My worry is that these might not just be placeholder names. I'm assuming that these are placeholder names, but what if they aren't? How would you all feel if these weren't the placeholder names and what they are actually going to be called? What's your opinion on this?
I personally would be very upset. I absolutely love the Disney Parks and the attractions there, and I always thought incorporating the Disney Parks into Kingdom Hearts would be an interesting idea, so I was very excited when I first saw these attractions in the trailers. I hope that these aren't just placeholder names. I hope they actually get the rights to use their actual names. The Big Magic Mountain should be called "Big Thunder Mountain Railroad", the Shooting Ride should be called "Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters", the tea cups should be called "Mad Tea Party." This also brings me to side note. What Disney Park attraction is the Pirate Ship from? There are many different ships in the Disney Parks. Off the top of my head, the two of them that I can think of are Sailing Ship Columbia and Captain Hook's Pirate Ship. It's called Pirate Ship in the KH trailers, so I'm assuming it's Captain Hook's Pirate Ship, so I hope it's actually called "Captain Hook's Pirate Ship" in-game.
Anyways, I know it's a minor thing, but I would actually be very upset if they didn't get the rights to use the attractions' actual names from the Disney Parks.

You know it, I know it, We all know it. We are super-hyped for Kingdom Hearts 3, but do to all of the building that Nomura and SE have done for the series It's safe to say we all have extremely high hopes and standards for the game for when it drops. I want to hear what you guys - the community have to say about this. What are you most afraid of Kingdom Hearts III that could mess up the entire or some of the experience for you? Death of a favorite character? game breaking bug? not enough closure? Anything!

In anticipation for the upcoming D23 I've been going a few of the old details and reached an interesting dilemma; should new worlds follow the traditional formula of following the world's film events with the inclusion of Sora and co to the plot or as was revealed by Roy Conli at the last D23 have a new world world with a post film plot?
Looking at what worlds people are hoping for further raises the question, since we know some film's plot would fit into the KH Jigsaw perfectly such as Traeasure Planet/Frozen etc the list goes on. However I personally wouldn't be against more post film worlds. It would allow some worlds where Xehanort's reason to interfere would be cloudy to understand and it would make the worlds more unique too.
That saying, I feel we should have a fusion of both formulas in order to truly mix up the worlds

Hey guys. Not like this is important, but Ive been playing Kingdom Hearts since the first one came out. And I'm not sure why I'm just making an account. But anyways. To the actual topic. Recently I was in my local Best Buy store, and I came across this. I did notice how the release date said 12/31/15. And to be honest, I think it's there just because they needed to put some kind of date on the software. But I still think it should be a part of a discussion, because I know I have heard of other people coming about similar things.
